[QUOTE="Silver, post: 1821172, member: 12520"] Well we can certainly compare herds and herd reputation it that tends to get classless IMO. I’ll try to simplify this. Keeping cows to failure is a bad plan for anyone. Keeping cows that are proving themselves to a reasonable age is a good idea. Cows that calve on time every year into their teens AND produce excellent calves obviously have desirable longevity characteristics that are good to keep in the herd. Keeping these.cows until they fail doesn’t prove anything but a failure on the part of the producer. Therefore it is best for the producer to move them along at an age where the cow has proven her longevity but before she fails. [/QUOTE]
